Group wants campus smoke-free by fall

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

A Kansas University initiative aims to ban smoking and other forms of tobacco from campus by fall of 2015.

As the Tobacco Free KU initiative pushes for a university policy change, it’s also working to get buy-in from students, faculty and staff.

“Our ultimate goal is to create a culture change on campus,” said Ashley Hrabe, KU senior and founder of Breathe Easy at KU (BEAK), the student group affiliated with the official KU initiative.

“Not only is it going to affect the current students on campus, if the policy were to come into place it not only affects future students,

it affects community habits as well.”

Tobacco Free KU describes its KANSAS as UNIVERSITY mission promoting a “respectful, healthy and clean environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors.”

BEAK and KU’s depart-

ments of Human Resources, Student Health Services and Recreation Services are cosponsoring the initiative, which also has support from the Office of the Provost, according to Tobacco Free KU’s October progress report.

Efforts started in spring 2013, when student and

“

A lot of employers are considering being tobacco free. It’s increasingly an area where employers are recognizing the cost of tobacco use, not only in health but in the loss of productivity.”

VOLUNTEERS AT JUST FOOD load boxes of Thanksgiving meals into cars lined up at the agency Monday. With donations from individuals, Hy-Vee and other sponsors, Just Food put together 1,377 boxes of Thanksgiving food. That’s up from about 700 boxes a year ago.

Stories in free food line may surprise you L

et’s be honest.

We’re all wondering what this sweet Chrysler 300 is doing in the long line of cars here to pick up a free Thanksgiving meal.

Jeremy Farmer, executive director of the Lawrence food bank Just Food, doesn’t ask. But the driver readily volunteers.

She’s upside down. Owes a lot more on the car than it’s worth at this point.

So, what are you going to do? Sell the car?

How’s that work? The bank won’t let you sell it for less than what you owe on the loan, unless you’ve got the cash to make up the difference.

How about you just quit paying on the loan? The bank will take care of selling the car for you.

Of course, then you wouldn’t have a car, and the havoc that creates

How about not buying the car in the first place?

True, but near as you can tell, Just Food is only handing out free turkeys, not time machines.

So, what are you going to do? Easy. Put the turkey in the trunk.

Farmer is not going to tell you that’s the story

On Jan. 20, Brenda Sewell, 58, and her sister had just crossed into Kansas on Interstate 70 after spending a weekend in Colorado.

They were doing about nine miles over the speed limit when a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper pulled them over near Goodland.

It was just weeks after Colorado had legalized the sale of marijuana, and during the stop, Sewell acknowledged she had about an ounce of it — for medicinal purposes, she said. The trooper arrested both Sewell, of Kansas City., Mo., and her sister, Joy Biggs. They were taken to Sherman County’s jail, known as the Bastille.

A few hours later Sewell Sewell began vomiting, and about 36 hours later she was dead.

Controversy has swirled since about whether Sewell received proper medical care, and the case became a regional news story, in part because law enforcement had refused to release records surrounding the death and the investigation of it.

This month, for the first time, Sherman County Attorney Charles Moser released the police investigative file exclusively to the Journal-World. Among the findings

KU students’ sculpture opens at Federal Reserve Bank of K.C.

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

A collaboration among 50 Kansas University visual arts students, faculty and staff has resulted in a work of art that will now be on permanent display at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

The sculpture, entitled “An Abounding Asset: The Diligent Reserve,” debuted in an unveiling ceremony Nov. 15, coinciding with the Reserve’s 100th anniversary.

Matthew Burke, associate professor of sculpture at KU, led “Special Topics in Art: The Federal Reserve Commission” with the goal of students conceiving, designing and executing a piece for the Kansas City branch.

The class, offered over four semesters, culminated in 400 ideas that eventually had to be narrowed down to three in preparation for the pitch to the bank.

“The aesthetic would be made by the students,” says Burke, a practicing artist who has worked on other large-scale community projects in the past.

“I knew that my authorship would be in how I designed the process of how we went about it.”

Burke and his students spent the bulk of the first

faculty surveys gauged opinions about the possibility of a tobacco-free campus and University Senate passed a resolution encouraging Student Senate to develop a more restrictive smoking policy, according to the report. KU got a $25,000 grant from the Kansas Health Foundation to help research the viability of going tobacco free.

This year, stakeholders have been trying to get the word out to campus about Tobacco Free KU as well as smoke and tobacco related health risks, Hrabe said.

Recent outreach included participating in November’s Great American Smokeout. Group discussions and smoking-related movie screenings are among events planned for coming months.

A major next step is getting Student Senate on board, which is important because it would show that students sup-

semester “just kicking around ideas,” putting concepts onto the drawing pad each class twice a week.

The Federal Reserve left much of the creative control to the artists, only asking them to include a collection of objects donated by employees — “items you put in a time capsule like pens and notebooks,” Burke says — in the finished work.

The winning concept is inspired by old-fashioned beekeeping equipment, says Burke. Team members constructed a total of 55 pedestals with hexagonal surfaces, each resembling a honeycomb.

The ancient skep — an upside-down woven basket in which bees build their hive — is symbolized by the object sitting on top of each pedestal.

Burke says students used about 7 percent of the donated items to make the “beehives,” sometimes “taking liberty” with the original form.

In one instance, a student used a photograph of a woman in a floral dress as inspiration for her beehive, using watercolor to paint the flowers onto a porcelain skep.

“They’re going to recognize those flowers,” Burke says. “The people

who donated that object will know exactly what the artist did and why.”

Eventually, the team will create a total of 183 beehives, he says. At the moment, the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City has 40 pedestals, 20 of which are on view in the building’s mezzanine.

The remaining 15 pedestals will be displayed at the bank’s branches in Denver, Omaha and Oklahoma City.

Burke, who says he is already looking for more projects like this one, has enjoyed watching his students gain new professional experience.

“The work is done at the end of the semester, and usually the pieces end up in the trash or go home with Mom and Dad,” Burke says of students’ art.

At the sculpture’s unveiling in Kansas City, several visitors approached the students and told them how much they loved what they did with the donated objects, he says.

“They knew this would look good in their portfolio and help them in the future, but what really mattered to them is outside people got to see their work and give them feedback,” Burke says. “For a student, that’s huge.”

port the initiative, Hrabe said. “We’re trying to do bottom-up instead of topdown.”

More than 1,400 campuses nationwide are now smoke-free, with 975 of those fully tobacco-free, according to October numbers from the Tobacco Free College Campus Initiative, tobaccofreecampus.org. A growing number — now 292 — also prohibit e-cigarette use anywhere on campus.

KU added e-cigarettes to its smoking policy this spring, meaning people are banned from using them in or near buildings, just like cigarettes.

That change and the Tobacco Free KU initiative are not without pushback.

Many students and faculty smoke, and some have said they’re against further regulation of it on campus, Hrabe said. She’s hoping Tobacco Free KU efforts can create “posi-

tive change” by making people think differently, even though she knows they won’t be able to change everyone’s minds.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is one off-campus organization with representatives on Tobacco Free KU committees.

Community health planner Charlie Bryan said the health department sees the effort primarily as a human resources issue.

He said not only is KU the largest employer in town, it employs a significant number of young adults.

“A lot of employers are considering being tobacco free,” he said. “It’s increasingly an area where employers are recognizing the cost of tobacco use, not only in health but in the loss of productivity.”

A donation of pet oxygen masks last month and quick work by firefighters, veterinarians and bystanders helped save the lives of 21 dogs who were in a burning building early Saturday morning.

One other dog, however, died, officials said, possibly from smoke inhalation.

The fire started in Christal K-9, 3115 W. Sixth St., a business that provides pet services, and smoke from the fire also damaged Jazzercize, which is located next door.

People arriving at Jazzercize at about 6:30 a.m. Saturday smelled smoke and called 911 even though they did not see a fire, officials said.

When the first company of firefighters arrived, they too reported there were no flames, a fire department press release said. As they continued to investigate, they found dense smoke and fire inside Christal K-9.

Alaska students to help Kansas identify glitches City’s first small business facilitator aims to foster in online tests clearer communication with entrepreneurs

By Chad Lawhorn

But during the early months of the position, Hermocillo-Legg also developed several general resource guides for any business to use and placed them on a new section of the city’s website, accessible at lawrenceks.org/pds/small-business. One guide is a 50-page document that provides items such as a business start-up check list, a listing of area organizations that provide grants and other assistance to small businesses and a listing of businesses resources available at the Lawrence Public Library.

She also has put together a small business construction guide and has hosted several “lunch and learn” seminars on topics related to the development process in Lawrence.

Topeka (ap) — Kansas students will try again to overload the state’s online platform for mathematics and reading tests, this time with the help of schools in Alaska.

More than 130,000 Kansas students went online last month to take shortened versions of the annual state tests Kansas administers each spring.

SCHOOLS The goal was to identify any glitches and prevent a repeat of what happened last spring, when technical troubles and cyberattacks interfered with state testing, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Last spring’s tests were a pilot run of new assessments that are more technologically advanced, rely less on multiple choice format and use more bandwidth.

The Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation at the University of Kansas designs and administers the state tests for Kansas and Alaska.

Center director Marianne Perie said last month’s exercise revealed some technical problems her staff is working

small business owner, and she remembers what most of them think about a trip to their local city hall.

“There are businesses all across the country that aren’t comfortable with city halls,” Hermocillo-Legg said.

“They’re thinking this is going to involve licenses, permits and probably money.”

Hermocillo-Legg, though, hopes she’s helping some Lawrence business owners take a different view of Lawrence City Hall. Since late 2013, Hermocillo-Legg has been serving as the city’s first small business facilitator. She’s stationed in the city’s planning and development services department, and she works to get involved early with small businesses that are looking to locate or expand in Lawrence.

“What Cyndi is really good at is putting the technical terms and processes we use into lay terms that really make sense to a small business,” said Scott McCullough, the city’s director of plan-

Hermocillo-Legg said her time as the owner of an authorized Sears dealer store has given her a good understanding of what business owners have on their minds when they come to City Hall.

“I can speak in terms of cash flow and timelines,” Hermocillo-Legg said. “I remember being on the other side of the table.”

The type of help Hermocillo-Legg can provide is varied. Often she helps businesses understand land use processes, such as rezoning or site plan approvals, needed before a business can open in a particular location. She also works frequently with businesses needing a building permit to renovate or expand their existing locations.

Ranchers warned of rustling surge Salina (ap) — A Kansas livestock expert is urging farmers and ranchers to take precautions against rustlers as historically high cattle prices make the animals a prime target for thieves.

Steers were selling between $1,300 and $2,000 per head in late November, according to a Farmers & Ranchers Livestock Commission report.

“Right now we are looking at record prices,” said Anthony Ruiz, livestock production agent for the Central Kansas Extension District. “That’s a lot of money.”

Earlier this month someone stole a dozen Black Angus bulls and heifers — worth an estimated $20,000 — from a north-

west Kansas ranch, The Salina Journal reported.

The cattle were reported missing Nov. 19 from a Cheyenne County ranch south of Wheeler.

“It was a quick grab-andgo,” Cheyenne County Sheriff Cody Beeson said.

In September, someone dumped a load of cowhides in McPherson County. The Sheriff’s Office said it received several leads but none panned out.

Ruiz advises ranchers to register a brand and brand their cattle, making it harder to sell stolen cattle by simply removing an ear identification tag. He also encourages ranchers to install cameras and change their routines so potential thieves can’t take advantage of a schedule.

Livestock event begins Dogs amid high cattle prices

Wichita (ap) — Cattlemen from across Kansas will be converging in Wichita next week for the annual convention of the Kansas Livestock Association amid all-time high cattle prices.

The three-day event touches on nutrition, cattle markets and retail sales.

The event kicks off Wednesday with Nina Teicholz, author of “The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet.”

Her keynote address is being touted as focusing on the possible unintended consequences of Americans being told fore more than 40 years to cut back

on saturated fat.

Thursday will feature a presentation from CattleFax Executive Vice President Randy Blach on the cattle market outlook. He will analyze the factors behind the record prices and predict how long that profitability might last.

He is expected to also discuss the rate of expansion of cattle herds and what that means for beef supplies.

Other speakers that day include James Herring, president and chief executive officer of Friona Industries, the thirdlargest cattle feeding operation in the United States.

in cages as they put out the fire, said Hank Booth, a radio personality who works nearby at KLWN-AM 1320 radio station.

The cages were lined up in a row along the curb of the businesses as smoke poured out of Christal K-9, Booth said. Some of the dogs were lying in their cages, some were lying on the pavement and others were being held in people’s laps, he said.

Firefighters, veterinarians and bystanders strapped the resuscitation masks on the dogs’ faces and began pumping air into their lungs.

the job she particularly enjoys. She spent five years as a vice president with the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce/ GO Topeka economic development partnership.

She said she decided to switch gears and work for the city because she believes helping create an efficient regulatory process for businesses can have a great impact.

“Lawrence is ripe to continue to grow small to

medium size businesses,” Hermocillo-Legg said.

She said Kansas University’s presence, the city’s geographic location and several other factors make it attractive to small business start-ups. She said the city, chamber and other business organizations now are devoting more resources to helping those businesses get off the ground.

“Half the battle is knowing what is out

there that can help you,” Hermocillo-Legg said. “I feel like we are helping build a culture of entrepreneurship here. That process can’t be exclusive to the city or the chamber or to KU. It has to be everyone working together to create the necessary parts.”

The testing center hopes to hold a second trial run in January that includes Alaska, which has about one-fifth as many students as Kansas. Schools in both states likely will team up to access tests on the same day and see whether students can still log in and view and complete each question without technical problems.

Testing in the spring, unlike last year, will count for school accountability purposes such as accreditation.

The center has subcontracted with an Internet security company to prevent cyberattacks.

It also has prepared backup and offline testing features.

Among the new state test’s features is a requirement for students

to answer in-depth writing prompts that will require hand-scoring. Kansas University wants Kansas teachers to conduct the scoring, rather than farming the task out to a private company.

“I want to keep it homegrown,” Perie said.

“I think it’s really important to ensure we keep our expectations in Kansas related to Kansas.”

zone,” Booth said. “Everybody who was there was trying to do something. So many people were there helping dogs.”

Staff from the Lawrence Humane Society and City of Lawrence Animal Control eventually transported all the dogs to area veterinary clinics for treatment, according to a press release.

Booth, who knows Cedric Devin, the owner of the business, said he was told the fire started when a fan motor froze, overheated and caught fire. Fire officials had not released an official cause by Saturday evening.

About a dozen resuscitation masks for dogs in small, medium and large sizes were donated last month to

the Lawrence Fire Department along with a DVD training video, said Darin Cox, a board member with the Chinese Shar-Pei Club of America.

The club held its national specialty show last month in Lawrence.

The club began donating the oxygen masks a couple years ago to thank communities for sponsoring their shows, Cox said.

“I’m thrilled to hear this,” Cox said Saturday of the dogs’ rescue with the help of the donated masks.

“I’m just really glad we were able to make a difference for these animals.”

Death CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

in the report: Douglas County Attorney Charles Branson was brought in to review the case to see whether criminal charges against the county were warranted in relation to Sewell’s death.

Branson found that the correctional officers overseeing Sewell did not commit a crime.

“I will make no comment with regard to civil liability,” Branson wrote in the review that was completed in May. The file describes Sewell’s downward spiral as her health deteriorated over about 36 hours. A video recorder documented the women’s activities in the cell.

While Moser would not release the video, he did release a log describing what it recorded.

Sewell vomited more than two dozen times over 15 hours. After being taken to a medical center and given intravenous fluids and anti-nausea medicine, she was returned to her cell.

The next morning she was sick again, began having seizures and quit breathing.

Sewell suffered abdominal hemorrhaging when her spleen ruptured, according to an autopsy report. Contributing factors to the rupture included vomiting and abdominal retching, the autopsy found.

Sewell’s family doesn’t understand why she wasn’t provided better, faster medical treatment.

“I firmly believe she would be alive today if they had just listened instead of treating (her and his aunt) like hardened criminals,” said Sewell’s son, Aaron Ray. “Everything about this was absurd.”

Sewell’s sister Biggs found the investigative file lacking in information.

For example, Biggs tried to use the telephone in the cell to call family members so she could get help for Sewell. But the phone was broken — she could hear the person she called, but they couldn’t hear her.

“They wouldn’t give me access to a phone so I could call my family,” Biggs said.

“The report never mentions how many times we tried to call home and we asked them to let us make a phone call. This report is really deficient.”

The family says it plans to file a lawsuit over Sewell’s treatment.

Sherman County Sheriff Burton Pianalto did not respond to a request for an interview and has not commented since Sewell’s death.

Neither Sewell nor Biggs had criminal backgrounds.

Branson’s findings To charge someone with mistreatment of a confined person, the evidence must show the victim was abused, neglected or illtreated, Branson said in his review.

“Based upon the review of the materials listed above, there is no evidence of any type of physical abuse by jail staff of Ms. Sewell,” Branson wrote.

Branson also said jail staff appeared to be courteous toward Sewell. He also noted that Sewell never complained of being neglected or mistreated, although she did say she was sick.

Branson found there was “some delay in summoning help” for Sewell just before she died.

Sewell’s condition worsened the morning of Jan. 22, and at 6:36 a.m., her sister tried to summon deputies by yelling and waving a towel several times at the video camera in the cell.

It wasn’t until 7:07 a.m. that jail staff, busy serving breakfast, called for assistance and an ambulance.

By the time the ambulance arrived, Sewell had suffered seizures and was being tended to on the floor of the cell by her sister and an inmate. At 8 a.m., Sewell was pronounced dead.

Records show she was in cardiac arrest in the ambulance and EMS workers shocked her heart unsuccessfully.

A KBI memorandum released by that agency earlier this year detailed an agent’s conversation with Pianalto by telephone while an ambulance was taking

At 3 p.m., a deputy took Sewell to her first appearance in front of a judge, where she said she was ill, records show.

Back in her cell at about 4 p.m., she began vomiting into a gray tote that was under her bed.

About 6:30 p.m., a detention deputy reported that the vomit was bloody. By then Sewell had vomited more than two dozen times.

Deputies decided Sewell should go to the hospital at about 7 p.m. She was seen by two nurses. One nurse told Pianalto that she would give Sewell some fluids but that she would likely be released, according to the log.

After receiving fluid and anti-nausea medication Sewell was returned to the jail. Biggs and Luann Medrano, another person in the cell, later told the investigating detective that Sewell was chided by deputies because she “was fakSewell becomes sick ing it,” according to audio Sewell suffered from recordings. several autoimmune disSewell slept until about eases, including fibromy- 6:30 a.m. algia, rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome, Last hour That morning, Biggs and her family said.

The memo said Pianalto told the KBI agent that he believed Sewell would be pronounced dead at the hospital and that he believed illegal drug use was to blame.

Pianalto asked the agent if KBI would conduct an independent investigation, but the agency later declined after the autopsy found that Sewell died of natural causes.

In addition, Lyle Noordhoek of Hays, the coroner who did the autopsy, told two KBI agents that same day that he believed after deputies told him about Sewell’s death that the woman had probably died from “complications to a drug withdrawal,” the KBI memo said.

Noordhoek’s autopsy report, however, did not indicate that Sewell had used illegal drugs.

lay Sewell on it. Another inmate who had been placed in the cell the night before began trying to resuscitate her, Mann’s report said.

Biggs and Medrano were holding Sewell, sitting on the floor. Sewell’s head would drop to her chest, and her sister would pull it back up, patting her hair.

Finally Biggs began giving her sister chest compressions, according to the log.

When Biggs couldn’t continue, the third inmate took over.

“Ms. Biggs can be seen screaming ‘HELP!’ several times in the area of the cell door,” the jail log said.

“The word ‘help’ is clearly discernible from watching Ms. Biggs’ mouth.”

At almost 7:20 a.m., EMS workers arrived at the cell.

back onto her cot and was lying in a ball with a blanket over her.

“They weren’t coming, and they weren’t coming,” Biggs told the detective.

“Her eyes were dilated, and she was cold to feel.”

At 7:02 a.m., Deputy Aaron Mann came to the cell, and Biggs told him Sewell needed her “puke pill,” Mann wrote in his report.

Biggs told him her sister “was going downhill” and was unable to sign the med sheet.

“At this time I observed (from the cell window) Sewell to be very pale to ashen, clammy looking, and it appeared she was having difficulty getting her breath.

She was also very unstable in a sitting position,” Mann wrote.

Mann left to call dispatch to get an ambulance.

He then went back to the cell window to check on Sewell through the window.

“Biggs yelled, ‘She’s getting worse, and she needs help. … They thought she was faking last night, that’s why they aren’t hurrying,’” Mann wrote in the report.

Mann said he told Biggs she needed to calm down and left again.

The video shows Sewell going into convulsions at 7:08 a.m. and her body appeared to go rigid with enough force to move Biggs, the jail log said.

Mann wrote that he could hear Biggs and Medrano “both screaming that Sewell was not breathing.”

Biggs and Medrano put a blanket on the floor and

Going home After her sister died, Biggs was released from the jail. Pianalto took her to get her car and had her follow him to I-70. Biggs said he then pointed east and said “‘Kansas City is that way.’”

Biggs was charged with possession of her sister’s one ounce of marijuana, pleaded guilty this fall and was placed on probation.

A school bus driver, Biggs said she couldn’t afford to go through a trial in Western Kansas, 430 miles from her home.

A LINE OF PEOPLE IN THEIR CARS WAIT TO PICK UP their Just Food Thanksgiving boxes at the agency Monday.

Food CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

behind every nice car in the line at Just Food.

(Most aren’t that nice, by the way.) He doesn’t know the story behind every nice car. Chances are, neither do you.

“What’s crazy is 20 years ago we were asking how we can best help people,” Farmer says.

“I think now we have started asking whether we should help them at all. We basically make up lies that everybody believes — like everybody is abusing the system — because we don’t know their stories.”

In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, Just Food handed out nearly 1,400 Thanksgiving meals. As I found by talking with some of the many people waiting for a box of groceries, there were plenty of stories on the side.

Story No. 1 It’s warmer in Arizona, but the economy is still a bit cool in the Valley of the Sun, says Diana Brown. But still, life was OK down there with her husband and two boys, 11 and 13.

Then her husband committed suicide.

After 17 years of building a life there, she moved back to Lawrence to be closer to her mother. That was about a month ago. She hasn’t found work here yet. The family gets some death benefits from Social Security, which come to find out are quite a bit smaller than the appetites of 11- and 13-year-old boys.

Diana remembers the time when she decided she was going to have to get in a line like this one.

“One of my boys yelled from the kitchen ‘what happened in here?’” she recalls. “He was looking in the refrigerator, and I thought he had just spilled something. But

he was just wondering where the food was.

“That’s when I realized I just had to accept the help and know in the future that I will try to help others.”

Story No. 2 Rebecca Redfield has a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

It likely looks very nice when framed and hanging on a wall. It doesn’t, however, attract many “oohs” and “aahs” in the job market these days.

“I have the experience and the degree, but a lot of people don’t want to pay for experience anymore,” Redfield says.

Redfield was a longtime bookkeeper before getting laid off. She says she’s given up her threestory home and is now down to a two-bedroom apartment. She’s still on unemployment. She readily admits there are some jobs out there, but the best of the batch would pay her $11 an hour, which is a nearly 30 percent cut from what she was making before.

Still, it would be a job, right?

“If I did that right now, I wouldn’t be able to pay rent for long,” Redfield says.

Story No. 3 It was an odd 30th anniversary gift. The day after Carla Parris celebrated her 30th anniversary working for a company as a medical secretary, she was told she no longer had a job.

She immediately hit the job-hunting trail and spent a full year hearing the same thing over and over again.

“I would be one of two finalists for a job, and the other one would just get it by a hair,” she says.

Then, one day there was a sign in the window of the grocery store.

That was a year ago, and she has been working at the deli of a local grocery ever since. She makes half of what she made in her last job.

“

What’s crazy is 20 years ago we were asking how we can best help people. I think now we have started asking whether we should help them at all. We basically make up lies that everybody believes — like everybody is abusing the system — because we don’t know their stories.”

— Jeremy Farmer, executive director of Just Food Working may be in her future for a good long time, too. Parris says she cashed out her retirement plan in order to keep her house.

“Lawrence is a really expensive place to live, but I don’t know any better because I was born and raised here,” Parris says. “Ten or 15 years ago, I would have told you that I never would need any of these services.”

somebody gaming some system.

But after standing in a line at Just Food for parts of two days, I can tell you it’s pretty hard to pick out who is who.

“We don’t know everyone’s circumstances,” Farmer says. “And I tell people it is not our place to judge whether they have managed their money well or not.”

Just Food, however, does screen its clients.

‘Not our place’ It provides assistance to There are lots of other people who make 185 perstories. I’m not going to cent or less of the poverty tell you all of them are level. Farmer admits there legitimate. I bet you there are exceptions. If you are some people getting convince Farmer that you some free food for not are hungry, you’re likely very good reasons. It going to leave with a bag seems like in every corner of groceries. of life — whether it is “We want to try the guy who turns in the to find a way to help bloated expense report folks,” Farmer says. or the CEO with a golden There are lots of folks. parachute — there is Through donations from

individuals, Hy-Vee and other sponsors, Just Food put together 1,377 baskets of Thanksgiving food. That’s up from about 700 a year ago.

The people who come through the line can be almost anyone. This is still a small town, and Farmer — a Lawrence city commissioner — knows lots of people. He tells me he saw two city employees, a teacher, a worker from one of the larger manufacturing plants in town and several others who would surprise you going through the line.

Statistics say most folks will come by just a few times. Nearly half of the clients of Just Food come just one time for food. About 85 percent come less than six times per year. About 90 per-

cent of the clients report having a job, although Farmer notes that category is self-reported.

He doesn’t know if it’s accurate.

It is tough to know the full story of everyone in these lines. But Farmer has heard enough of the stories to pick up on a general theme.

“It is just that life has punched them in the mouth,” he says.

Indeed, life has been known to do that.

That’s the thing about life: No matter what you are driving, its road is unpredictable.

Topeka woman knits dozens of colorful caps for kids Topeka (ap) — In the heat of the summer, Linda Tuller was thinking ahead to the frigid cold of winter.

The 68-year-old Tuller spent the summer knitting about 50 colorful caps to keep teens at a local middle school warm, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

The finished products were distributed in midNovember to students at Topeka’s Robinson Middle School.

Tuller, who retired the first of July, has volunteered for several years as a Junior Achievement leader at Robinson.

During her time there, she said, she “really became aware of some of the students who had holes in

their shoes and who were wearing coats that were too small for them, or too shabby to be of much use in the winter.”

Tuller’s knitting projects were done in conjunction with a coordinated effort by members of four midtown congregations: Potwin Presbyterian Church, which she attends; West Side Baptist Church; Central Congregational United Church of Christ; and West Side Christian Church.

Members of the four churches have collaborated for the past few years on projects that assist students at both Meadows Elementary School and Robinson Middle School.

tens for Meadows” and “Wraps for Robinson.”

Tuller makes it clear she is only one person among the many volunteers who give of their time, energy and talents to help with the projects.

“When the four churches band together,” she said, “we are able to see a lot more results from our efforts, and that’s a real motivation.”

Tuller said the projects make it possible for church members to live out their Phil Anderson/The Topeka Capital-Journal faith in a way that benefits LINDA TULLER SITS IN THE SANCTUARY OF POTWIN individuals in need in the PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH with dozens of caps she knitted.

DEATHS Deborah Kaye Lynch

Black Friday sales down 7 percent

New York (ap) — The crowds of bargain huntNo services are planned for Deborah K. Lynch, 64, ers that rush through Topeka. Mrs. Lynch died Nov. 29, 2014 at Lawrence store doors the day afMemorial Hospital. More info at rumsey-yost.com. ter Thanksgiving have thinned out.

U.S. shoppers spent artin ailey aldez $9.1 billion at stores on Black Friday, according Martin Bailey Valdes, Lawrence, born and died Nov. to data out Saturday from 27, 2014. Services 1pm, Wed. Dec. 3rd at Rumsey-Yost research firm ShopperFuneral Home. More info. at rumsey-yost.com.

Trak. That’s a drop of 7 percent compared with the same day last year.

But it’s too early to call the holiday shopping season a dud, said Bill Martin, ShopperTrak’s co-founder. Sales on Thanksgiving jumped 24 percent to $3.2 billion.

And overall sales for the two days are expected to slip half a percent to $12.29 billion. The figures don’t include online transactions.

For the second straight year, the report suggests that more people avoided the crowds on Black Friday by avoiding time at home on Thanksgiving Day. This year, many large retail stores decided to open their doors to eager shoppers for extended hours on the holiday.

“People are changing their behavior,” Martin said. “We’ve seen this for two years in a row now.

Stores opening on Thanksgiving are simply eroding sales from Black Friday.”

The popularity of shopping online has also lured people away from brickand-mortar stores. In a separate report out Saturday, IBM said online sales for Black Friday climbed 9.5 percent over the same day last year. More than one of every four transactions were made using a smartphone or tablet computer.

Some people saw no reason to rush to the stores before the weekend.

Research firm ShopperTrak reported Saturday that this year’s Black Friday sales were down 7 percent compared with last year’s.

coats on Saturday, saying they disliked the long lines on Black Friday. At JC Penney, the two found a $50 house coat for Christine’s grandmother for $20, and bought another $200 coat for $20.

“I’m not cheap, but I’m frugal,” Elaine Vanas said.

Retail businesses have high hopes for the holiday shopping season. The National Retail Federation predicts that sales for the last two months of the year will hit $616.9 billion, an increase of 4.1 percent over the same period of 2013.

That would count as the biggest increase for that sales period since 2011, but it would still be slower than the 6 percent pace typical before 2007, the year the Great Recession started.

However, Black Friday shoppers were out in force enough to knock out Best Buy’s website.

The site was down for about an hour Friday evening after a morning out-

age that lasted more than an hour.

Jeff Shelman, a company spokesman, attributed the morning glitch to “a concentrated spike in mobile traffic.” He said the company had shut down BestBuy.com again because of “traffic-related issues.”

At Westfield Fox Valley mall in Aurora, Ill., parking spaces were plentiful and lines in many stores short or non-existent Friday morning. Some groggy shoppers were in their pajama pants.

Kimberly States said it was noticeably quieter than the night before, when she made her first trip to the mall.

“It was a zoo last night around 10 p.m.,” she said.

“Now it seems like more of the old folks.”

States and her daughter were shopping mostly for clothes. She planned to return later Friday with her son.

EDITORIALS

Voting moves Shifting local elections to November is a poor way to address low voter turnout.

K

ansas legislators once again are studying different options for moving local city and school board elections.

Their stated goal is to increase voter turnout for those elections. Turnout for local elections admittedly is deplorably low, but all of the proposals currently being considered would create more problems than they would solve.

City and school board elections currently are held in the spring. Primaries, if necessary, are held in March, and the general election in April. All of the proposals being considered would move those elections to November either in evennumbered years, when they would be combined with partisan state and national elections, or in odd-numbered years, when they would be held on their own.

Proponents of November elections in odd-numbered years argue that people are programmed to vote in November and holding elections then would increase turnout. There’s really no data to support that idea, but it might be true. County election officials haven’t taken a position on the odd-numbered November idea, but they say that other strategies, such as conducting mail ballot elections, might be a more effective way to boost turnout.

Those election officials have a stronger opinion about the idea of combining local elections with state and national races in even-numbered years. They are concerned about the length of the ballot and the confusion that would be created by combining partisan state and national elections with nonpartisan local elections.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who supports merging local, state and national elections, has a solution for that.

Rather than deal with multiple ballots to accommodate nonpartisan local elections, Kobach would simply turn all local school board and city elections into partisan races, in which candidates have to declare and run with a party affiliation. Even Kobach told a recent legislative committee hearing that without such action to reduce ballot variations, combining elections isn’t a good idea.

That should be the end of that discussion. Any proposal that includes forcing local elections to become partisan contests is a bad idea. The last thing local school and city races need is to add a layer of partisanship to the mix. These officials need to be focused on what’s best for the community and the children who attend local schools without regard to any state or national partisan agenda. Lawrence School Board President Shannon Kimball said partisan election are “a terrible idea” and points out that moving local elections to November in either odd- or even-numbered years also would throw off the schedule for board terms, which currently start on July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year. Board members elected in November would either wait seven months to take office or would have to take office in the middle of a school year and a budget cycle.

It’s true that low voter turnout, including the 17 percent turnout for the last local elections in Lawrence, is cause for concern. Mail elections and other strategies are worth a try, but shifting these elections to November and, more importantly, turning them into partisan races is a bad idea.

Let’s talk about ‘black on black’ crime OK, fine. Let’s talk about “black on black” crime.

That, after all, is where the conversation seems to inevitably turn whenever one seeks to engage a conservative on the American habit of shooting unarmed African-American boys and men. So it was exasperating, but nowhere near surprising, to see former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani go there last week on “Meet the Press.”

Asked by host Chuck Todd, during a discussion of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo., about the fact that African-American communities like that one are often served by snowwhite police departments, he offered some perfunctory words about the effort to produce more representative cop shops. But then Giuliani took a sharp turn off topic and into the brambles.

“I find it very disappointing,” he told Todd, “that you’re not discussing the fact that 93 percent of blacks in America are killed by other blacks. ... I would like to see the attention paid to that that you are paying to this.”

There followed a sharp exchange with another panelist, author and professor Michael Eric Dyson, which produced this parting shot from the mayor: “The white

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Ninety percent of black murder victims are killed by black assailants. But guess what? White people kill one another, too.

Eighty-three percent of white victims are killed by white assailants.” police officers wouldn’t be there if you weren’t killing each other.”

Somehow, he managed not to call Dyson “you people.” In nearly every other respect, Giuliani’s words reeked of a paternalistic white supremacy unworthy of a former mayor of America’s largest city — or even a sewer worker in its remotest Podunk. But again, this has become the go-to “reasoning” for those on the right — Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh — when

asked to give a damn about the killings of unarmed black boys and men.

That formulation is false for multiple reasons.

In the first place, being concerned over the shooting of unarmed black men hardly precludes being concerned over violence within the African-American community. Giuliani and others suggest a dichotomy where none exists.

In the second place, they ignore the obvious: When black people commit crimes against black people, they face prosecution, but when police officers (or certain neighborhood watchmen) commit crimes against black people, they face getting off with little if any punishment.

In the third place, what exactly is “black on black” crime?

Do black people kill one another? Sure they do. Ninety percent of black murder victims are killed by black assailants.

But guess what? White people kill one another, too.

Eighty-three percent of white victims are killed by white assailants. See, the vast majority of violent crime is committed within — not between — racial groups. Crime is a matter of proximity and opportunity. People victimize their own rather than drive

across town to victimize somebody else.

So another term for “black on black” crime is crime.

But there is crime and there is crime.

Redlining, loan discrimination and predatory mortgages have stripped generations of wealth from the African-American community. What is that if not robbery?

The Republican Party practices policies of voter suppression. That’s the assault and battery of AfricanAmerican political rights.

Mass incarceration criminalizes the very existence of black men and boys. That’s the rape of equal justice.

Unarmed people are killed by those who are purportedly there to protect and serve them and the “just us” system looks the other way. That’s the murder of basic human rights.

It is touching that Giuliani and others are so concerned about black on black crime.

But African Americans have also been long oppressed by what might be called “America on black” crime.

When do you suppose they’ll be ready to talk about that?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 30, 1914: “Without years warning or preago vious notice the IN 1914 insurance companies have served notice that the insurance rates of this city have been raised 12 per cent. There was no chance for a hearing, just an arbitrary movement on the part of the insurance companies and the insurance commissioner. An insurance commissioner who will allow rates to be hiked in a town without that town having notice of such application ought to be removed from office.”

Stand confirmed To the editor: In reference to my letter of Nov. 21, regarding same-sex marriage, I have, so far, seen two replies, neither being too pleased or complimentary. David Burress places me on the same level as racist activists from the ’60s, and suggests that I should be ashamed of myself, although he doesn’t specify why. Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Burress, but I feel nothing to be ashamed for. On the contrary, my views on the subject remain firm as written. Otherwise, it would appear that your letter serves no valid purpose, other than showing off your superior academic background. (I had to look up “invidious.”) Meanwhile, if my opinions conflict with yours and this offends you, I suggest you learn to live with it.

Next: Judy Northway needs to read my letter more carefully. Where I cite religion and procreation as possible areas of objection to same sex marriage, I do not claim these as my own.

When you relay your views on these areas, you’re preaching to the wrong choir, since I fully agree. But then, you start rambling about civil rights and Alabama and Mississippi in the 1960s, which I find completely irrelevant.

Why are people like you so upset about what R.L. Cook thinks, since you’re so plainly a part of the accepted majority here? Am I not allowed to express an opinion if it conflicts with yours? Puts the “discrimination” tag on the other foot, doesn’t it? Also smacks of paranoia and insecurity. Good luck with that.

I couldn’t get my car started. I stopped a man who was going into Hy-Vee and asked if he could help me.

He couldn’t start the car either, but he said he’d get some jumper cables to give the battery a boost. A Hy-Vee employee helped him get the jumper cables and he got my car started. I offered to pay him, but he said, “I wouldn’t be setting a very good example for my kids if I accepted money for helping someone that needed help.”

I didn’t get his name, but I know he is a Good Samaritan. When I was home safely, I followed his good example and wrote a check to the Salvation Army, knowing that would help others in need.

More balance

To the editor: The Thanksgiving editorial message from the Journal-World appropriately challenges each of us to reflect upon the many ways in which we are blessed, individually and collectively. I applaud the message and, in particular, point to the statement which asks us to “consider how we can better practice the fairness, tolerance and compassion that should continue to define American society.”

I challenge the Journal-World to work toward a more balanced perspective on the editorial pages of our community’s newspaper. Ironically, for example, the smug self-congratulating words of George Will are on the same page with the call for tolerance and fairness. Perhaps tomorrow we will again be subjected to Mr. Krauthammer’s unending personal attacks aimed at the president of the United States. I fail to see how these writers provide anything other than inTo the editor: creased polarization and division.

Pay it forward

Honesty hard to find To the editor: Did anyone else notice the first paragraph in an AP story at the top of page 3A of Wednesday’s Journal-World? It quotes Gov. Brownback, saying “he is considering all options to fill a massive budget deficit that he didn’t know existed until after the election earlier this month.”

Those massive deficits have been projected by everyone who’s been paying attention for well over a year and widely reported in the national, regional and local news.

To make a statement like that, the governor has to believe that a small percentage of people will believe him and that everybody else has conceded that lying is a necessary component of American politics and that the truth has become an abstract concept that is rarely helpful in winning elections.

Maybe that’s why honest candidates are so hard to recruit. To enter the political arena today, one must learn to lie with conviction both matter-offactly and with sanctimony and to repeat it often if you can remember what it was.

Ferguson, Mo. (ap) — The Ferguson police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown has resigned, his attorney said Saturday, nearly four months after the confrontation between the white officer and unarmed black 18-year-old that ignited protests in the St. Louis suburb and across the Wilson nation.

Darren Wilson, who has been on administrative leave since the Aug. 9 shooting, resigned effective immediately, said his attorney, Neil Bruntrager. He declined further immediate comment.

Wilson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he was stepping down out of his “own free will” after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he remained an employee.

“I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me,” said Wilson, who had been with the department for six years.

Wilson fatally shot Brown after a scuffle in the middle of a street, where Brown’s body lay for several hours as police investigated and a crowd of angry onlookers gathered.

Several days of tense and at times violent protests followed, prompting Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon to call in the National Guard to help.

Some witnesses have said Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him. Wilson told a grand jury that reviewed the case that he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun.

Officer Wilson resigns amid protests, threats reviewing evidence before announcing Monday that it wouldn’t indict Wilson, igniting violence among protesters that resulted in at least a dozen commercial buildings in the area being destroyed by fire. Several other large but peaceful protests have since been held across the country.

Wilson’s resignation didn’t seem to affect protesters outside Ferguson police headquarters Saturday night.

Protester Rick Campbell said he didn’t care about the resignation, saying: “I’ve been protesting out here since August.” Several other protesters merely shrugged their shoulders when asked about the resignation.

“We were not after Wilson’s job,” civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton said in a written statement. “We were after Michael Brown’s justice.”

Terror attack kills 15 in western China Beijing — Fifteen people died in a terrorist

attack in China’s rebellious Xinjiang region, state media reported Saturday, despite Beijing’s recent efforts to strengthen security in the far-west part of the country.

According to China’s Xinhua news service, 11 of the dead were “mobsters” who tossed explosive devices and attacked civilians with knives on a food market street in Shache County at about 1:30 p.m. on Friday. Police on patrol nearby killed the 11 attackers, and 14 people were injured, Xinhua reported.

Muslim Uighurs, who once were the majority in Xinjiang, have long resented Beijing’s rule and policies of assimilation. Over the past two years, Uighur militants have unleashed repeated attacks against police and civilians.

The attacks follow efforts by President Xi Jinping to shore up security in Xinjiang, a region of vast natural resources that is crucial to Xi’s plan to expand economic ties with Kazakhstan.

Using incentives and brute force, Islamic State subdues tribes Beirut (ap) — The Islamic State group is employing multiple tactics to subdue the Sunni Muslim tribes in Syria and Iraq under its rule, wooing some with gifts — everything from cars to feed for their animals — while brutally suppressing those that resist with mass killings.

The result is that the extremists face little immediate threat of an uprising by the tribes, which are traditionally the most powerful social institutions in the large areas of eastern Syria and northern and western Iraq controlled by the group. Any U.S. drive to try to turn tribesmen against the militants, as the Americans did with Sunnis during the Iraq war, faces an uphill battle.

Some tribes in Syria and Iraq already oppose the Islamic State group. For example, the Shammar tribe, which spans the countries’ border, has fought alongside Kurdish forces against the extremists in Iraq.

The U.S. and Iraqi governments have proposed creating a national guard program that would arm and pay tribesmen to fight, though the effort has yet to get off the ground.

But in Syria in particular, tribes have no outside patron to bankroll or arm

them to take on IS, leaving them with few options other than to bend to IS domination or flee.

“There are people who want to go back and fight them,” said Hassan Hassan, an analyst with the Delma Institute in Abu Dhabi. “But the circumstances now mean that you can’t provoke ISIS because the strategy they’ve followed and tactics are to prevent any revolt from inside.”

Ruling by division The rulers of the selfstyled caliphate have mastered techniques of divide and conquer.

Tribes are powerful institutions that command the loyalty of their members across the largely desert regions of Syria and Iraq.

But they are also far from cohesive. Large tribes are divided up into smaller sub-tribes and clans that can be pitted against each other. Such divisions also emerge on their own, often in connection to control over local resources like oil wells or land.

Also, the Islamic State group itself has roots in the tribes. Though hundreds of foreign fighters have flocked to join the group, most of its leaders and foot soldiers are

EXTREMIST FIGHTERS WITH THE ISLAMIC STATE GROUP PARADE IN RAQQA, SYRIA, on June 30. The Islamic State group is wooing Sunni Muslim tribes in Iraq and Syria with gifts and suppressing those that resist it with acts of violence.

Iraqis and Syrians — and often belong to tribes.

In eastern Syria’s Deir elZour province, for example, the Ogeidat is one of the largest tribes. One of its major clans, the Bu Jamel, has been a staunch opponent of the extremists. Another, the Bakir, long ago allied itself to the group.

IS operatives use threats or offers of money or fuel to win public pledges of loyalty from senior

tribal sheikhs. The group has also wooed younger tribesmen with economic enticements and promises of positions within IS, undermining the power structure of the tribe.

“They offer many sweeteners,” said Abu Ali al-Badie, a tribal leader from the central city of Palmyra in Syria’s Homs province. “They go to the tribes and say, ‘Why are you fighting against Mus-

lims? We’ll give you weapons and cars and guns, and we’ll fight together.’”

“They offer diesel and fuel. They bring barley and animal feed from Iraq,” he said. “They build wells at their own expense for the tribes and they say, ‘Others have neglected your needs.’”

Deadly warnings At the same time, the group sends a clear mes-

sage to those who resist.

In August, IS militants shot and beheaded hundreds of members of the Shueitat tribe in eastern Syria. Activists reported death tolls ranging from 200 to 700. Photographs in the Islamic State’s English-language “Dabiq” magazine showed blackclad fighters shooting prisoners said to be Shueitat, lined up on the sandy ground.

In Iraq, IS killed more than 200 men, women and children from the Al Bu Nimr tribe in Anbar province, apparently in revenge for the tribe’s siding with security forces and, in the past, with American troops. It has also shot dead several men from the Al Bu Fahd tribe.

“Everyone is hiding or fled. They will chop us in pieces if they see us,” said Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud, a leader in the Al Bu Nimr.

“They want us to support them and to join their fight.

In return, they say they will let us live in peace.”

As a result, Dukhan says there’s little chance for a revolt unless tribes are confident the extremists are losing.

“I think that for the time being, seeing a largescale uprising against IS is just a fantasy.”

KANSAS STATE 51, KU 13

Sad-sacked

K-State slams Kansas in finale

Bowen’s future remains up in air

By Matt Tait

Manhattan — With a little more than 12 minutes to play in a game that turned hopeless more than an hour earlier, Kansas University quarterback Michael Cummings slammed the ball into the turf after falling victim to yet another sack by the Kansas State defense during Saturday’s 51-13 whipping by the Wildcats at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

Cummings’ demonstration was the first obvious sign of the despair and disappointment of another blowout loss setting in for KU’s normally unflappable quarterback.

Although that specific play had little to do with Saturday’s outcome, which came in front of 53,439 fans — the third-largest crowd in the venue’s history — it was the perfect way to summarize the 2014 season for Kansas, which ended in Manhattan much the way it began heading south in Week Two, in Durham, North Carolina, after a 41-3 loss at Duke, with all kinds of wild twists and turns unfolding along the way.

“They jumped all over us,” Clint Bowen, who finished 1-7 as the Kansas’ interim head coach. “It was 14-0 before anything even happened, and we didn’t need that. The bottom line: Kansas State was better than us today. You come into a game where you have to play a perfect game, you have to play as good as you can possibly play, and you start off with turnovers. That’s obviously not the way you need to go.”

The worst part about Saturday’s loss — K-State’s sixth straight victory in the series and the fourth time in the past five meetings that Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo the Wildcats (9-2 overall, 7-1 Big 12) have surpassed KANSAS STATE LINEBACKER DAKOREY JOHNSON (32) SACKS KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERBACK MICHAEL CUMMINGS in the first half of the Wildcats’ 51-13 dismantling of the Jayhawks on Saturday in Manhattan.

Manhattan — Asked after Saturday’s 51-13 loss to Sunflower State rival Kansas State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium what came next, Kansas University interim football coach Clint Bowen sounded a lot like a man who planned to have a future role in the program.

“We’re gonna thank these seniors who gave their heart and soul to Kansas University,” Bowen began. “And we’re gonna get our players in the weight room next week and get ’em ready for finals. ... This is about Kansas football. It’s about this football program and this university. Whoever (is hired), everyone that’s a fan of KU needs to get behind it and let this program become what it’s capable of.

We have all the resources in the world. We have everything needed at Kansas University to have a successful football program, and it’ll happen.”

What Bowen’s role from here will be, of course, is up to athletic director Sheahon Zenger, who reiterated after Saturday’s loss that he was impressed by the way Bowen handled himself and the program during the past nine weeks.

“Clint did everything we asked him to do,” Zenger said. “And what you heard him say in there is who he is. He’s one of the most authentic individuals I’ve ever met. I know people like to go day by day and week by week and get high and get low. You have to take the emotion out of it. You have to have a steady hand. As he has said, this is about Kansas football.”

No more fun and games: KU prepares for MSU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kissimmee, Fla. — There’s no way Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self was going to drag himself away from a Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center meeting room to join his players for fun and games Friday night at Walt Disney World.

“We watched tape. I did not spend any time with Mickey or Minnie,” Self joked after a short practice Saturday in preparation for today’s Orlando Classic final between No. 11-ranked KU (4-1) and No. 20-Michigan State (5-1).

Not only did he and his assistants need to watch Friday night’s MSU-Marquette semifinal game to learn KU’s

opponent in today’s noon (Central time) finale at HP Field House, but they had to grade film of the Jayhawks’ 82-67 semifinal victory over Tennessee.

Also on TITLE the evening TILT agenda was pouring over the Spartans’ Who: No. 20 p r e v i o u s Michigan wins over State (5-1) Navy (64- vs. No. 11 59), Chicago Kansas (4-1) Loyola (87- When: Noon 52), Santa today Clara (79-52) Where: Kisand Rider simmee, Fla.

(81-71). “ T h e y 33, 233) hung out, rode a few rides. I don’t know (what else),” Self

said of the Jayhawks’ trip to Magic Kingdom and other sections of the world-famous theme park.

Self — his Jayhawks have gone 1-3 against MSU in his 12 seasons at KU — noticed familiar tendencies in the Spartans’ 79-68 win over Marquette.

“I think they are good.

It’s a typical Michigan State team, great in transition, obviously a great rebounding team,” Self said. “That will be the two biggest keys ... getting back and then, of course, keeping them off the glass. Then we have to defend the three-point line.

They are a very good threepoint-shooting team.”

Travis Trice, a 6-foot senior guard from Huber Heights, Ohio, scored 19 points with seven assists

and six rebounds against Marquette. KU sophomore point Frank Mason III had a similar line in the Jayhawks’ victory over Tennessee — 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists.

“He’s really good. He’s good with the ball. He’s clever. He’s a great shooter,” Self said of Trice.

Denzel Valentine, a 6-5 junior from Lansing, Michigan, who is probably frontrunner with KU’s Perry Ellis for tourney MVP honors, scored 25 points with four rebounds, three assists and five turnovers against Marquette. Branden Dawson, a 6-6 senior from Gary, Indiana, had eight rebounds and five points against the Golden Eagles.

Broncos await Chiefs Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The last 10 days could not have gone much worse for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Beginning with a humiliating loss to Oakland, a team that had lost 16 consecutive games, and ending with the sobering news that popular and talented safety Eric Berry could have lymphoma, it has been a period marked by frustration, anxiety and uncertainty.

“It’s been a tough week for us. It’s a lot going on,” running back Jamaal Charles said, “but at the same time, we have to start getting focused. We have a big game this week.”

The Chiefs (7-4) welcome the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos (8-3) to Arrowhead Stadium.

The game tonight between two bitter rivals has a little more riding on it this time around. After Kansas City lost a competitive game in Denver in Week 2, the beleaguered team needs a victory over Peyton Manning and Co. if it wants any shot at winning the division.

“We’re playing at home, a great environment to be playing a division team — we know we got to win this game,” Charles said. “This game is a go-outthere-and-get-it win. We know we have a tough challenge with a Hall of Famer and a great defense coming to town. I think we’re up for that challenge this week. We control our own destiny right now.”

So do the Broncos. Not only would a victory give them a stranglehold on the West, it would allow them to keep within striking distance of New England for the AFC’s best record.

“They have the same goals that we have. It’s really about who wants it more,” Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said. “We’ll have our hands full.”

It’s not as if the Broncos haven’t had to overcome their own adversity lately.

After losing Montee Ball to a groin injury and Ronnie Hillman to a foot issue, they have leaned on second-year, thirdstring running back C.J. Anderson to balance the offense.

Tight end Julius Thomas remained limited in practice this week after hurting his ankle Nov. 16 against St. Louis.

MSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Izzo, like Self, values toughness Kissimmee, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On the brink of a big game, at least by November standards, Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo used his postgame news conference in the wake of an 11-point victory against undersized Marquette to let his players know how little he thinks of their toughness.

He did that because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what coaches do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some guys that are soft, and that is a four-letter word at Michigan State and not a good one,â&#x20AC;? Izzo said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Valentine arguably could be the best passer in the country,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can really shoot.

Forbes (Bryn, 6-3, junior) is a good shooter. They have Dawson inside.

quires playing a Big Ten brand of football. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way Izzo always has looked at it, which is similar to how his opposite number in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orlando Classic title game, Bill Self, views it.

Izzo doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind expressing his views on the different standards ap-

that we have (in college game).â&#x20AC;?

ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dick Vitale mentioned at the conclusion of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MSU-Marquette broadcast that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final is a clash between two certain Hall of Fame coaches in Self and Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Izzo.

Izzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MSU squad stopped KU, 67-64, in the 2012 Champions Classic in Atlanta; 67-62 in the 2009 Sweet 16 in Indianapolis; and 75-62 earlier that 2008-

plied to coaching methods in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame the players, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal in this day and age,â&#x20AC;? Izzo said after the Marquette game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody let one of their guards turn the corner. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spiritual person that flew in, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who it was. But they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to turn the corner. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better if I do it this way: It was my fault, it was bad game planning. Somebody must have mistook me when I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them turn the corner.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They must have thought I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Let them turn the corner.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So

that really bothered me, as you can tell, all game.

It was just, I mean, they just did it one time after another after another.â&#x20AC;?

Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors are green and white, but Izzo views the world in blue-and-white terms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not quite whitecollar, but we sure as hell ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blue-collar,â&#x20AC;? Izzo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see if we can get back to blue-collar by Sunday.â&#x20AC;?

This will be the fourth meeting between Michigan State and Kansas, Izzo and Self, in the past six seasons. In winning the three previous games, the Spartans have

held Kansas to scoring outputs of 62, 62 and 64 points.

Izzo, as to a large extent does Self, determines playing time based on defensive performance.

In the Marquette game, when skilled Spartans big man Matt Costello bit on a pump-fake, enabling his man to drive the baseline and dunk, no matter what happened until the next whistle blew, Costello was coming out of the game. Costello immediately hit a mid-range jumper, which did not equate to a get-out-ofjail-free card.

When Izzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upset with a player, he glares at him. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really upset, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even acknowledge his existence.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even look at Costello as the big man strolled to his spot on the bench.

It will get physical, but the secret to beating this Michigan State team is limiting its three-point shooting. The Spartans make 9.7 threes a game and shoot them with 43-percent accuracy.

Kansas holds foes to 31 percent. Advantage Kansas in this potential bloodbath.

09 season in East Lansing.

Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jayhawks won, 81-74, during the 2003-04 season in Allen Fieldhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played Michigan State in ... whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it been, two years?

They beat us by three.

We ran â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to end it, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a good look (on Travis Releford miss on final possession),â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole thing is, I enjoy playing against Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams. It will definitely make us tougher moving forward.â&#x20AC;?

The Jayhawks enter the finale on an uptick offensively.

KU, which arrived in Florida as a 39.8 percent shooting team (11 of 42, 26.2 percent from three), hit 49.0 percent of its shots against Tennessee (eight of 19 threes) and 47.2 percent versus Rhode Island (eight of 17 from three in 76-60 win).

Self is much too superstitious to praise the improved marksmanship, but he concedes the shooting has at least been acceptable of late.

But is it better than expected? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we would probably score the ball better than what we have. You take away Santa Barbara, which we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot the ball at all (41.5 percent), and you take away Kentucky (19.6 percent in 32-point loss), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually looked pretty good offensively.

But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away certain games. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look at the whole package. I think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been above average since the Kentucky game but still not good enough.â&#x20AC;?

The Jayhawks today will be trying for their first eight-team preseason tourney title since the 1999 Great Alaska Shootout.

KU won two games and the title at the CBE in 2012 in Kansas City, Missouri. The Jayhawks also went 2-0 to win the Las Vegas Invitational in 2006 and 2010. KU in the Self era has yet to win the Maui Invitational title in two tries. Last year, the Jayhawks went 2-1 at the Battle4Atlantis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played in these tournament and done pretty well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be nice to get a quality win, just like (it would

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for Tom, (but) theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get a quality win, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be good for both programs to get a quality win this early in the season.â&#x20AC;?

he planned to start the same lineup for the third straight Orlando Classic game: Ellis, Selden, Mason, Landen Lucas and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

Traylor struggled in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal, totaling one point with one rebound, three assists and three turnovers in 12 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jamari had a rough day yesterday,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of his system. He did some good things, but he had a couple bad stretches.

He has been probably as consistent a performer as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all year, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played quite as well since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been down here. We need him to have a big game.â&#x20AC;?

Traylor posted a photo on Instagram of the Jayhawks on a ride at Disney World: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great times lol I needed this! Cuz I been playin like ****. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do better tho #DisneyWorld 1st timer #MagnaMoment,â&#x20AC;? he wrote.

Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable of going out and making five in a row. I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played pretty well. I went with Brannen (Greene, six points) to end the game yesterday (during late 20-5 run) just because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more experienced in that situation, but I think Svi has done fine.â&#x20AC;?

l

Team not tired: Self said he was not overly concerned about the minutes played in the semifinal by Frank Mason III (39), Ellis (35) and Wayne Selden Jr. (33). â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have played today (Saturday), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have been worried about it, but not with a day off. I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine,â&#x20AC;? Self said.

He and his players planned to watch the KU-Kansas State football game on TV after lunch Saturday, then have regular meetings while remaining in the resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go hard. We went about 40 minutes probably, broke a good sweat,â&#x20AC;? Self said of practice Saturday at a Florida high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We obviously spent a lot of time on scouting report.â&#x20AC;?

K-State WR supplants dad

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Manhattan — From 199396, Kevin Lockett tortured Big Eight secondaries to the tune of a school-record 217 receptions for Kansas State.

Saturday, during K-State’s 51-13 drubbing of visiting Kansas University, Lockett’s son, Tyler, bumped his father into second place on K-State’s all-time receptions list.

With a 17-yard grab on third-and-10 late in the second quarter, Tyler Lockett hauled in reception No. 218. After a brief stoppage in play and a few hugs and handshakes from his teammates, the younger Lockett went back to doing what he does best, and four plays later collected his second touchdown catch of Saturday’s runaway victory.

cheer for the past two decades.

“I actually saw him on the big Jumbotron celebrating one of the touchdowns,” said Tyler of his father, who was in attendance Saturday.

“Obviously, he was happy about it.”

So, too, were Lockett’s teammates.

“It was awesome,” senior quarterback Jake Waters said.

“Tyler had a great game, especially with breaking the record in front of all our fans cheering us on. It was awesome throwing the ball to him.”

Lockett took little credit for all of those catches.

“It just says a lot,” he said.

“I have a great quarterback.

drive to KSU quarterback Jake Waters, who hurt Kansas with his arm and legs all afternoon.

KU’s next two drives ended with interceptions — one by safety Dante Barnett and the other on a circus catch

by Morgan Burns after intended receiver Rodriguez Coleman kicked the Cummings pass high into the air with his left leg near the goal line — and K-State tacked on 10 more points to open a 17-0 lead less than 15 minutes into the game.

The Wildcats outgained the Jayhawks 179-54 in the opening quarter and 289-104 in first half while running 11 more plays and averaging nearly six yards per carry.

K-State entered the game averaging 3.9 yards per rush.

Even when the Jayhawks were able to get something going, they could not avoid hurting themselves. After Nick Harwell’s 27-yard touchdown catch pulled the Jayhawks to 17-6, Kansas State blocked the extra point and then returned the ensuing kickoff 65 yards to the KU 23. Four plays later, the Wildcats pushed their lead to 24-6 on an 11-yard touchdown run by Charles Jones (42 yards on 9 carries), and the rout was on.

“Everything you just built up gets taken away from

you,” Bowen said of the backto-back miscues after the touchdown. “You can’t even get the momentum to swing.”

After taking a 31-6 lead into halftime, the Wildcats’ offense never let up in the second half, scoring touchdowns their first two possessions in the third quarter and adding a 52-yard field goal to open the fourth.

The rest of the game resembled so many other recent KU-KSU matchups, with the Wildcats and their fans laughing and celebrating and the Jayhawks standing with a distant gaze wondering what happened.

KU’s loss Saturday was its 33rd in a row away from home. The Jayhawks won’t be able to do anything about that until Sept. 26, 2015, when they travel to Rutgers for the third game of the 2015 season.

KU has lost 17 in a row to ranked teams.

And the 2014 season marked the fifth time since Mark Mangino left town that KU has failed to win more than three games.

“This obviously hasn’t been what we all envisioned,” senior linebacker Ben Heeney, who finished his Kansas career with six tackles. “But I’m sad it’s over. It just sucks that my legacy here is over.”

First Quarter 11:15 — Jake Waters 1 run.

Matthew McCrane kick. After forcing a three-and-out by Kansas on the game’s opening possession, KSU marched 61 yards in six plays and 2:38. DeMarcus Robinson carried twice for 39 yards, and Curry Sexton and Tyler Lockett each caught eight-yard passes from Waters to set up the score. (KSU 7, KU 0).

10:18 — Tyler Lockett 44 pass from Waters. McCrane kick. A diving interception by Dante Barnett on KU’s second possession set the Wildcats up in KU territory, and on the first play of the drive, Waters threw a perfect pass to a streaking Lockett, who slipped behind Dexter McDonald and glided into the end zone. (KSU 14, KU 0).

0:38 — Matthew McCrane 41 field goal. Another KSU interception — this one deep in its own end near the goal line — set up another scoring drive for the Wildcats, who marched 74 yards in 12 plays and 5:24. Sexton caught backto-back passes for 42 yards, and Lockett converted a third down to get the drive going. (KSU 17, KU 0).

Second Quarter 8:42 — Nick Harwell 27 pass from Michael Cummings. Kick blocked.

The Kansas defense finally came up with a stop, and a nifty return

by Harwell and personal-foul penalty on the Wildcats set the Jayhawks up at their own 46. Six plays, 54 yards and 2:50 later, Cummings hit Harwell on a deep post that followed five consecutive runs, three by De’Andre Mann (13 yards) and two by Corey Avery (15 yards). (KSU 17, KU 6).

6:56 — Charles Jones 11 run.

McCrane kick. The Wildcats snatched the momentum back from Kansas with a 65-yard kickoff return by Morgan Burns that set the Wildcats up at the KU 23. Four plays later, Jones’ first touch of the drive put him in the end zone and put Kansas State back ahead by three scores. The drive covered four plays, 23 yards and 1:46. (KSU 24, KU 6).

0:47 — Lockett 6 pass from Waters. McCrane kick. K-State blew this one open with an 11-play, 68-yard drive that took 4:38 and featured Lockett setting the K-State career receptions mark, moving past his father, Kevin, who caught 217 passes from 1993-96. (KSU 31, KU 6).

Third Quarter 11:16 — Charles Jones 13 pass from Waters. McCrane kick.

Another big kick return set the Wildcats up with good field position, and Waters and company did the rest, driving 59 yards in seven plays and 3:34 to add to their lead.

Waters completed both passes he attempted on the drive for 33 yards and also ran for two yards on third-and-one to keep the drive alive. (KSU 38, KU 6).

6:32 — Trent Smiley 19 pass from Cummings. Matthew Wyman kick.

KU’s best drive of the day covered 75 yards in 10 plays and 4:44 and featured receptions by Nigel King, Tony Pierson, Ben Johnson and Smiley, who snagged the ball in the back of the end zone and got a foot down before rumbling out of bounds. Cummings was 4-for-5 passing on the drive and also ran for 15 yards and a first down. (KSU 38, KU 13).

3:16 — Curry Sexton 37 pass from Waters. McCrane kick.

Waters showed off his arm on this drive, connecting on five of five pass attempts for 62 yards and a touchdown. All five completions went to Sexton and Lockett, and the KU secondary looked helpless against KSU’s precision passing game. The drive covered 62 yards in five plays and took 3:16. (KSU 45, KU 13).

Fourth Quarter 14:17 — McCrane 52 field goal.

The Kansas State kicker kept his perfect game going by drilling a deep field goal to kick off the scoring in the final quarter. McCrane’s kick, which was good for another 5-7 yards, capped a short drive that took four plays and 2:02. (KSU 48, KU 13).

4:36 — Jack Cantele 39 field goal.

K-State turned to back-up quarterback Joe Hubener to handle the fourth quarter, and — after a drive that spanned 13 plays, 51 yards and 7:12 but stalled near the KU 20 — the Wildcats turned to their back-up place kicker to finish things off. Cantele, who had been K-State’s first-string kicker, drilled a low liner to push K-State past the 50-point mark for the fourth time in the last five meetings between the two teams. (KSU 51, KU 13).

KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK Mundine injured Kansas University interim head football coach Clint Bowen said that senior tight end Jimmay Mundine suffered an injury Saturday and was unable to continue.

Mundine Mundine caught two passes for 20 yards and finished the best season of his career with 584 yards and three touchdowns on 45 receptions. Mundine leaves KU first among tight ends with 11 career touchdowns and third at the position with 1,082 career yards and 86 career receptions.

turned around. That their comments came in the shadows of a stadium — a cathedral, really — that stands because of one of the greatest turnarounds in history of sports only made their words ring louder.

“We did have a goal and an objective that we wanted to set an identity for what we want Kansas football to be, and I believe we did make a very good start on that,” Bowen said of him and Zenger. “I believe, at this point, our kids understand the importance of playing hard, playing smart and playing tough. They’re the same things that K-State demonstrated (today), and I think the kids now understand that there’s a price to be paid if you’re gonna have success.”

Added Zenger: “I’ve held my tongue on this, but in the four years I’ve been here, it’s about doing the little things right.

That’s what the program that just beat us does.

When we start doing all the little things right, things will get better — in recruiting, in the classroom, in the weight room, off the field but also each and every day in practice.

That’s what Clint has done a good job of these last nine weeks.”

KANSAS STATE COACH BILL SNYDER, LEFT, AND INTERIM KANSAS COACH CLINT BOWEN meet on the field after the Wildcats’ most recent lopsided victory.

Bowen believes KU can be a place that fields a football program of which fans can be proud.

“I don’t think it’s difficult at all,” Bowen said.

“I think it’s the way you operate every single day of your program. It starts with winter conditioning, it goes into spring practice, it goes into summertime. It’s not difficult.

Players have to earn everything they’re gonna get, and there has to be a standard of excellence, and then your players have to meet that standard. We’re headed that way.

“There’s zero doubts

Jayhawks claim five-set victory

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Trailing by three points midway through the fifth set against Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon, Kansas University seniors Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton told their volleyball teammates in the huddle that they were going to fight back for the win.

Once they stepped back on the court, KU’s two seniors backed up their words. McClinton gave the Jayhawks three of the next four points with kills, then with KU later leading by one, Albers smacked back-toback kills to lift the Jayhawks to a 17-25, 25-18, 25-20, 20-25, 15-11 Senior Day victory at Horejsi Center.

It was the first time the Jayhawks (22-8, 10-6 in Big 12) have won a fifth set in six tries this season.

“I think that we both looked at each other before the game, especially before the fifth set, and were like, ‘We’re getting this done for each other, for our team,’” Albers said of her late heroics with McClinton. “This is our last time to play in Horejsi. I can’t even fathom that. It’s not getting through to me. But to have this memory, it’s going to be very much treasured.”

Albers and McClinton, who have racked up the most wins (88) among any class in program history, shined in the final set but made big plays

throughout the entire match, just as they’ve done throughout their collegiate careers.

“Me and Chelsea just knew that this was going to be our last conference game ever,” said McClinton, who had a team-best 18 kills and added two aces. “Of all times to take over, now was the time, and we had to rely on each other to get it done.”

After the Sooners (2010, 10-6) dominated in the first set, the Jayhawks flipped the script. KU began to land attacks and block shots, frustrating Oklahoma’s big hitters.

The Jayhawks finished with 20.5 blocks, setting a home record in the rallyscoring era, including a career-high 13 from sophomore Tayler Soucie.

Freshman Kelsie Payne, junior Tiana Dockery and Albers also finished with more than six blocks.

“That changed the match when we became the physical team,” KU coach Ray Bechard said.

“We started attacking more aggressively, starting blocking a little bit more. ...

Everything had to be spot on to have success against a team like Oklahoma.”

After opening the conference season with an 0-3 record, the Jayhawks finished by winning six of their last seven, tied for second in the league and set themselves up with plenty of momentum before the postseason. KU will find out its NCAA Tournament fate during the Selection Show at 7:30 tonight.

Hawking biopic a major disappointment

T

he opening scene of “The Theory of Everything” tells you all you need to know about the film.

Two young Cambridge students, Stephen and Jane, are at a gathering and they see each other from across the room.

They both ask the person they are with about the other and exchange glances. Before you know it, they’re having a conversation and romance is in bloom.

It’s a corny scene with all the soft focus and swooning you’ve come to expect from bad rom-coms and it’s made all the worse by the fact

the universe, and the movie has already decided on a single, familiar mode of storytelling.

Do we need the typical home-movie montage where the dialogue is muted in favor of a stirring musical score where the audience fills in the blanks and adds their own resonance?

There are a ton of practical questions raised by the arrangement of their marriage, but few of them are answered with candor or anything that would raise the level of storytelling.

Some questions—like

the ones about what whether Hawking’s man parts operate normally—are handled as cutesy jokes. Children appear, and we know it will be hard work for the couple to raise them, but there’s nary a sign of physical intimacy surrounding this. We never quite feel Hawking’s solitary detachment from the rest of society as a result of his condition, even as we sympathize with him. It’s not Redmayne’s fault. The actor is entirely convincing and somewhat of a rev-

elation in the role. But he has zero chances to dig deep.

There are a few hardnosed, pointed remarks from Hawking—one of the most brilliant minds of the century—and very few truly selfish moments, despite the fact that even as a purely inspirational figure, he’s earned them. The same goes for Jones’ Jane, whose sacrifices just keep piling up. This renders the portrayals, however remarkable the performances are, too saintly and mawkish.

We learn little about

Hawking’s strength to survive; only that he does survive, against all odds, after an initial diagnosis of two years.

Viewers looking to see a challenging and enlightening perspective on a similar condition should see “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” which uses pioneering camera and narrative technique to get inside the mind of its paralyzed protagonist.

“The Theory of Everything” is a major disappointment given the level of talent involved and the subject matter. The love

triangle angle is possibly the worst one that could have been taken, and no scene bears that out quite like the overheated moment where Marsh cross-cuts between Hawking being rushed out on a stretcher during an opera just as Jane and the “other man” consummate their relationship on a sunny day. It’s not just obvious; it’s all-around distasteful.

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com that the two people in question are the brilliant physicist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) and his soon-to-belong-suffering wife Jane (Felicity Jones). You’d think that a movie about this complicated, oneof-a-kind relationship wouldn’t begin with the worst romantic cliché in the book, but there it is.

To make things worse, the pair immediately begin debating—in the most obvious way possible—the whole science vs. religion thing. This telegraphs the idea that director James Marsh and screenwriter Anthony McCarten are going to tell an extraordinary story in the most ordinary way possible.

Hawking, of course, will develop a motor neuron disease related to Lou Gehrig’s disease that will render him virtually paralyzed, and he will go on defying doctors’ expectations not only for his continued survival but with his groundbreaking scientific theories and observations about the universe. Meanwhile, Jane bore three children, kept the family together and began a relationship with a church organist.

The central conflict of the story—based on Jane’s autobiography, “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen,” revolves less around the difficulty in managing these roles than it does the melodramatic love triangle. “The Theory of Everything” has the slick sheen of a prestige Oscar-bait picture, and it’s frustrating that it continues to view this most unique relationship—one that surely has more contradictions and asterisks than 99 percent of marriages— through the same lens of every other rosecolored biopic.

Hawking’s goal is to discover a single unifying theory that explains

‘Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story’ recalls the rock pioneer’s controversial antics

By Will Lester Associated Press

Jerry Lee Lewis was a Louisiana-born supernova who helped create rock ’n’ roll and raced toward stardom in the 1950s until his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin Myra helped turn a 1958 performance tour in England into a disaster.

But the brilliance of his early years and his dogged determination to succeed sustained him for decades after his rocketlike career was sidetracked.

Lewis has found the ideal biographer in Alabaman Rick Bragg, an author and former New York Times writer whose new book, “Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story,” shows a rich understanding of the texture and cadence of Lewis’ life, which started in Concordia Parish in eastern Louisiana near the Mississippi River. Bragg wrote that he “listened in the quiet gloom of his bedroom as he told me what was worth remembering. ... He remembered it as it pleased him. ... Day after day I was reminded of a line I once read; it was like any life, but with the dull parts taken out.”

Lewis’ account of his birth in 1935 sums up his outlook: “I came

out jumpin’ and I been jumpin’ ever since.”

And he made a discovery that changed his life.

“In 1940, when he was not yet five years old, Jerry Lee found his reason for being born,” Bragg writes, noting that he saw a piano at his Aunt Stella’s house.

Lewis sneaked into a local blues hall as often as he could while growing up, hearing some of the best performers that toured the black clubs in the region.

He blended his taste for blues with his favorite country performers and an energetic, almost frantic, style on the piano.

His good looks and wavy blond hair, combined with his powerful music, drove the crowds crazy.

The new music “was burning up the airwaves in Memphis and even down in Natchez, jumping from treetop to treetop in a pine barren. ...

The black man had been doing it for years of course, but the harsh and irrefutable truth was it took a little touch of hillbilly to make it slide down easy for white audiences,” Bragg writes.

Lewis had to work hard to make a name for himself: playing auditoriums but also performing in lesser venues like an electronics store and a

KNOWN FOR ROUSING PIANO NUMBERS SUCH AS “WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN’ GOIN’ ON” AND “GREAT BALLS OF FIRE,” rocker Jerry Lee Lewis drove crowds wild early in his career. tomato festival.

He caught lightning in a bottle when he recorded “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” which began “taking off like wildfire” on country, rhythm and blues, and pop stations, according to Billboard.

During Lewis’ performances, “women climbed on the stage, rushed it, tore at his clothes” and he became “public enemy number one” to those frightened by rock ‘n’ roll.

His recording of “Great Balls of Fire” rivaled the popularity of “Shakin’.”

Lewis was better playing the piano, singing and finding women to marry him than he was at staying married. As one of his many marriages faded,

he began spending more time with Myra. He married her in 1957, even before he’d escaped from his second marriage.

While it created a stir in the United States, Lewis couldn’t have been ready for how it would be received in England, where he went to perform in 1958. As the British press learned Myra was a young teen and his third wife, the crowds at Lewis’ shows became combative. “’Baby snatcher! Go home.’ crowd shouts at singer” was a typical headline.

His relationship with crowds became more tense, even when he got back home. He smashed one drunk audience member in the head with a mi-

crophone stand after that person shouted insults.

As Bragg tells it, “When news of his marriage to his 13-year old cousin, Myra, caused promoters and some fans to turn away and his rocket ship to sputter, when scandal and changing times caused record sales to sag, he filled two Cadillacs with musicians and equipment and went on the road. ... He played, fueled by Vienna sausages, whisky and uppers ... and drove all day and into the night to play again.”

When Bragg wrapped up his interviews with the aging musician, he walked over to his bed and shook his hand, saying: “I will try to write a good book.”

And he’s done just that.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Woman irked by in-laws’ frequent sleepovers Dear Annie: I’ve been married to my husband for a year, and we moved into our first house roughly six months ago. I love our home, and I know we’re very fortunate.

Here’s the problem: His parents live two hours from us. My husband has a younger sister who plays in the local youth symphony.

As a result, she is frequently in town for music lessons and concerts, and her parents must drive her to these events. Naturally, my inlaws asked whether they could spend the night at our place a few times.

At first, I was only too happy to have them. I understand how difficult high school can be for a talented girl. But now it feels as though they are staying with us every weekend, and the constant company is start-

ing to wear me out.

I love my husband’s family — after all, they raised the man I married. But I miss being alone with my husband. I’ve spoken with him about this, but neither of us knows how to solve the problem. His parents have made it clear that if we didn’t house them on the weekends, they wouldn’t be able to afford the music lessons.

What should we do?

— Spending Too Much

A history of extinction on Smithsonian Recently seen in “Boardwalk Empire,” actor Jeffrey Wright narrates “Mass Extinction: Life at the Brink” (7 p.m., Smithsonian). It discusses five very different traumatic events that nearly extinguished all life on Earth.

From an asteroid strike that ended the reign of dinosaurs to a gigantic volcanic eruption that triggered something called “the great dying,” these cataclysms have left a trail of evidence behind in fossils, minerals and bones.

“Extinction” also ponders the possibility that another such event may occur, or has already begun.

A thoughtful documentary about a misunderstood affliction and an underestimated killer, “Sleepless in America” (7 p.m., National Geographic) is not afraid to pull the heartstrings.

It begins with a first-person account by a man who lost his wife and children in a horrific car crash. The other driver wasn’t drunk, on drugs or texting. He was a seemingly nice guy, driving from his job at a medical facility to see his fiancee. He had been pulling double shifts and missing sleep when he dozed at the wheel before crossing four lanes of traffic.

“Sleepless” asserts that the Exxon Valdez oil spill, a fatal Staten Island ferry crash and other disasters have been linked to sleep deprivation. It then assembles evidence linking inadequate sleep (less than six hours a night) to weight gain, depression and even cancer.

We meet people who never seem to sleep and those who treat them. “Sleepless” discusses the triggers for insomnia, including overworked and over-scheduled lifestyles, ignoring nature’s natural rhythms of darkness and light and sharing a bedroom with electronic distractions.

Time with the In-Laws Dear Spending: You need to get out during the weekends. If you can afford it, plan a short weekend trip with your husband and give his parents a spare key. Or take the day and go someplace — just the two of you. Make a “date” to have breakfast out, and then see a museum exhibit or a movie.

Meet up with friends.

This will give you a break from the in-laws.

Dear Annie: I think you were way off in your response to “Ready to Empty Nest,” whose 21-year-old daughter, “Norma,” is a college graduate who doesn’t pay rent or help around the house, and the bathroom she uses, which is also the guest bathroom, is a disaster. She also won’t let her parents meet her boyfriend.

Annie, I see this en-

tire situation differently. This young woman paid for her college education, along with her car insurance and phone. Can I adopt her? She sounds fantastic — a hard worker, probably studying and working two jobs to pay for her tuition, and too busy to clean her bathroom. — Would Be Proud to Have Her Dear Proud: You have pretty low expectations of grown children.

Norma’s parents were happy to let her stay rent-free while she was paying tuition. But she graduated and is still living rent-free. There is no reason on Earth Norma cannot keep her bathroom clean. It is a matter of respect.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

jacquelinebigar.com

For Sunday, Nov. 30: This year you often enjoy your private time even more, as it seems to energize you. You have an unusually spontaneous yet fun personality. Many of you will consider going back to school, traveling or taking a workshop. Through this experience, you could meet someone who opens new doors for you. If you are single, romance will be intense but not necessarily enduring. If you are attached, you often might plan a special adventure together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might feel rather out of it despite everything you try to do. Tonight: Say little; listen a lot.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Zero in on your priorities, which could be as simple as meeting friends for a late brunch.

Tonight: Not to be found!

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to stay on top of a personal matter regardless of how uncomfortable it might be. Tonight: Continue whatever you are doing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Make your round of Sunday calls to those you rarely get to see. Tonight: Squeeze every fun moment out of this weekend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could hear some news that causes you some stress

but not for long. Tonight: Take a child’s words to heart.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others love commanding the moment, and you are kind enough to allow that to happen.

Tonight: Make the first move.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to become involved in some kind of physical activity. Tonight: Out and about.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination is likely to delight a loved one. Tonight: Admit that you are tired, and make it an early night.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to call this a lazy day and sleep in. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Return calls and touch base with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Tonight: Call it early.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Expenses will add up quickly, so keep a close eye on your spending. Tonight: Meet several friends out for dinner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You will feel in the spirit of the moment, but if you look around, many of your friends and family members might have disappeared. Tonight: Your treat.
